Extended Shedding and Enhanced Fitness of the SARS-CoV-2 Variant of Concern B.1.1.7 in Human Organoid Systems

2021-07-26

Abstract excerpt

A new phase of the COVID-19 pandemic has started as SARS-CoV-2 variants are emerging globally, raising concerns for increased transmissibility. Early 2021 the B.1.1.7 (or Alpha) variant, became the dominant variant globally and epidemiological data suggests this variant spreads faster than its ancestors. However, this does not prove that a variant is intrinsically phenotypically different, let alone more transmiss...
